Comment Collection
When you post a comment on our site, the information you enter in the comment form, your IP address, and your browser details are collected to help us detect unwanted comments.
If you use Gravatar, an anonymized string generated from your email address (hash) may be sent to their service to check for an existing profile. The Gravatar privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible next to your comment.
Media Uploads
When images are uploaded to the site, we recommend avoiding including location data (EXIF GPS) in these files, as visitors to the site can download and extract this location information from the images.
If you post a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and site in cookies for your convenience. These cookies expire after one year.
When you visit the login page, a temporary cookie is created to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is automatically deleted when you close your browser.
When you log in, several cookies are set to store your login information and screen preferences. A login cookie lasts for two days, while a screen preference cookie lasts for one year. If you check “Remember me,” your login cookie will be kept for two weeks. When you log out, this login cookie will be erased.
When you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Sites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). The behavior of this content is the same as if you visited the original site.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking tools, and track your interactions with this embedded content if you have an account logged into their website.
Use and Transmission of Your Personal Data
In the event of a password reset request, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Data Retention Periods
Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows for the automatic recognition and approval of subsequent comments instead of putting them in the moderation queue.
For registered accounts on our site, the personal information in the profiles is also stored. All users have the ability to view, modify, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Site administrators can also view and modify this information.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you may request to receive a file containing all the personal data we hold about you, including the data you have provided. You also have the right to request the deletion of your personal data. However, this does not include data stored for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
